how to use NS_CONCAT in suiteQL

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteQL, the NS_CONCAT function is not directly supported. However, you can achieve similar functionality using the "||" operator to concatenate two strings. Here is an example:

SQL
SELECT
    ID,
    (LastName || ', ' || FirstName) AS FullName,
    Phone,
    Email
FROM
    Employee
WHERE
    Email LIKE '%@test.com'
ORDER BY
    LastName,
    FirstName

In the case of concatenating multiple rows into one row based on some grouping, similar to the NS_CONCAT function in NetSuite saved search, unfortunately, there is no direct equivalent in SuiteQL. Oracle's LISTAGG function, which could potentially serve this purpose, is also not supported in SuiteQL. If you're working within SuiteScript, you could potentially pull the results and flatten them in your script. However, this would involve running separate queries and joining the results in your script, which may not be the most efficient solution. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
